BACKGROUND
This application applies to 84.7 hectares of land, located south of the Nepean Town Centre and the Jock River, west of the existing Greenbank Road alignment and referred to as the “Half Moon Bay Subdivision” (see Document 1).
The lands lie within a larger area, which was the subject of a Community Design Plan (CDP) that received Council approval in June 2006. The Barrhaven South CDP will provide planning direction for development applications within the South Nepean Urban community. This Zoning By-law application will implement the objectives of the CDP for the lands that lie within Phase 1 of that plan.
Purpose of
Zoning Amendment
The proposal is to construct a
subdivision comprising of 1600 residential units in the form of
single-detached, semi-detached, street townhouses, and multiple attached units
(back-to-back) all on public streets or lanes with alternative standard
rights-of-way widths and laneways, including a school site, public parks,
conservation lands, and two community level shopping sites.
A companion subdivision application is being processed that includes three neighbourhood parks, one community level park adjacent to a planned stormwater management pond and a linear open space system along the Jock River, one school site, a potential apartment block and two neighbourhood level commercial blocks.
The subject lands are currently zoned Future Growth – FG Zone in the former City of Nepean Zoning By-law. The FG zone generally applies to lands where future urban development is intended in accordance with an approved Community Design Plan.
The subject lands are proposed to be rezoned to the following zone categories: Residential Mixed Unit - RMU Exception Zone, Conservation – CON Zone, Institutional School/Residential Mixed Unit – IS/RMU Exception zone, Commercial Mixed Use – CMU Exception Zone, and Parks and Recreation Public - PRP Zone. The nature of the zone exceptions are discussed in detail in the following paragraphs.
DISCUSSION
The lands have been recently re-designated from
Developing Community to General Urban Area in the Official Plan. The previous
designation required the preparation of a CDP that will provide a framework and
direction for development applications in such areas. The Barrhaven South CDP
that was completed for the South Urban Community fulfilled this requirement.
City Council subsequently approved an Official Plan Amendment in June 27, 2007,
changing the designation of the lands to General Urban Area.
The Zoning By-law amendment proposes the
following five zone categories for all of the lands affected by this
application, with further detail provided in Document 2:
·
A
Residential Mixed Unit - RMU (Exception) Zone for the residential portions of
the subdivision, identified as Area A in Document 3. Unit types permitted in
the RMU zone will include single, semi-detached, townhouses, and “back-to
back” units. The exception zone is necessary to allow for unique zone
provisions for the proposed housing products. The provisions are very similar
to the standard RMU zone requirements, which permits a dense and compact urban
form. The request is for decreased front yard setbacks for the garages to 3.5
metres, whereas four metres is used in the RMU zone, lot coverage to 55 per
cent as opposed to 50 per cent, reduced rear yard setback to six metres instead
of nine metres and the 0‑metre rear yard setbacks for the “back-to-back”
townhouse units. The latter is a built form that incorporates ground-oriented
townhouses that, in addition to being linked at the sides, are also attached at
the rear.
·
A
Conservation - Con Zone for the area that covers the stormwater management pond
and realigned Todd Drain, identified as Area B in Document 3. The Conservation
Zone permits stormwater ponds, river corridors and other areas that are
intended to be preserved in their natural state and may include unstructured
recreational uses.
· An Institutional School/Residential Mixed Unit – IS/RMU (Exception) Zone for the one elementary school planned to serve the community, identified as Area C in Document 3. This site is proposed to have a dual zoning in place in the event that the school board does not acquire the site, the lands will revert to residential use without the need for a further zoning amendment process.
· A Parks and Recreation – PRP Zone applicable to the District Park planned for this community, identified as Area D in Document 3. This is consistent with the zoning of all lands dedicated through plans of subdivision and intended to serve the community needs through active and passive recreational facilities. All parks, including the neighbourhood parks permitted in the RMU zones, are strategically located to serve as focal points in the community.
·
A
Commercial Mixed Use – CMU (Exception) Zone applicable to the three commercial
blocks of land located in the future community core to serve the areas shopping
and business needs, including providing employment and housing opportunities in
a mixed-use building format, identified as Area E in Document 3. The exception zone is necessary to remove
the floor space index and commercial floor area limits as the height and
development setbacks will sufficiently regulate the built envelope of future
development. The exception is also
necessary to remove Outdoor Vehicle or Merchandise Sales and Automobile-related
uses which are not permitted in the Community Core area of the CDP.
The proposed development will include a mix of
housing types at a density of approximately 29 units per hectare. This is in
compliance with the development targets established in the Barrhaven South
Community Design Plan. The zone provisions that are being requested through the
exception are to allow for a marginally more dense development than the
standard RMU zone permits. Some of the innovative dwelling unit types that will
be supported by the zoning include townhouses that are attached at the rear of
each unit, also referred to as “back-to-back” units and rear-lane townhouses.
These units promote a more compact urban form that promotes efficient use of
the City infrastructure and should be very transit supportive. The latter are major policy objectives in
the current Official Plan. The proposed zoning will also allow for model homes
and a sales centre to be built on these lands to showcase the applicant’s
products and future development plans.
New Comprehensive Zoning By-law
It is intended that the draft new Comprehensive Zoning By-law will be passed by City Council on June 25, 2008. The subject lands are currently zoned DR – Development Reserve in the March 2008 draft of the new Comprehensive Zoning By-law.
Considering the immanent timing for approval of the new Comprehensive Zoning By-law, the subject lands are proposed to be rezoned to the following zone categories: R3YY[XX] - Residential Third Density Zone [Exception XX], EP - Environmental Protection Zone, I1/R3YY[XX] - Minor Institutional/Residential Third Density Zone [Exception XX], GM [XX] – General Mixed Use Zone [Exception XX], and L1 – Community Leisure Facility Zone. The nature of the zone exceptions are discussed in detail in the following paragraphs with further detail in Document 2:
·
A R3YY[XX] - Residential Third Density Zone
[Exception XX] for the
residential portions of the subdivision, identified as Area A in Document 3.
Unit types permitted in the RMU zone will include detached, semi-detached,
and multiple attached (townhouses, rear lane townhouse, and “back-to back” units)
dwelling units. The exception zone is necessary to allow for unique zone
provisions for the proposed housing products. The provisions are similar to the
standard R3 zone requirements, and closely follow Exception 1455 which was
created to accommodate a similar dense and compact urban development by
Mattamy. The request involves modest
decreases to minimum lot areas, widths, and required yards as well as increases
to the maximum permitted lot coverage and height for multiple attached
dwellings only. The most significant
provision changes are the reduction of the required rear yard for single
detached dwellings on a corner lot to 0.6 metres from 6.0 metres to accommodate
corner dwellings with side yard amenity areas, the removal of the 65 per
cent maximum lot coverage limit on multiple attached dwellings to accommodate
the rear lane product design, and the elimination of rear yards for “back to
back” multiple attached dwellings, that, in addition to being linked at the
sides, are also attached at the rear.
·
An EP1
Subzone – Environmental Protection 1 Subzone for the area that covers the
stormwater management pond and realigned Todd Drain, identified as Area B in
Document 3. The EP1 Zone permits stormwater ponds, river corridors and
other areas that are intended to be preserved in their natural state and may
include unstructured recreational uses.
·
An I1/ R3YY [XX] – Minor Institutional / Residential Third Density Zone [Exception XX] for the one elementary school
planned to serve the community, identified as Area C in Document 3. This site
is proposed to have a dual zoning in place in the event that the school board
does not acquire the site, the lands will revert to residential use without the
need for a further zoning amendment process.
·
A L2 –
Major Leisure Facility Zone applicable to the District Park planned for this
community, identified as Area D in Document 3. All parks, including the neighbourhood parks permitted in the R3YY zone,
are strategically located to serve as focal points in the community.
·
A GM
[XX] – General Mixed Use Exception Zone applicable to the three commercial
blocks of land located in the future community core to serve the areas shopping
and business needs, including providing employment and housing opportunities in
a mixed-use building format, identified as Area E in Document 3.
The exception is necessary to remove
a drive though facility that is not permitted in the Community Core area of the
CDP as well as Funeral Home, Place of Worship, Research and Development
Industry and Technology Industry that were not considered to be consistent with
the applicant’s vision for the Commercial Core area.
In order to accommodate the density and design
unique to the proposed subdivision the following additional amendments to the New Comprehensive Zoning
By-law are proposed, details of which are contained in Document 2:
·
Amendment
to Section 57: Corner Sight Triangles, the following dimensions are proposed:
o
10‑metre
triangles when involving arterial roads,
o
5
metres when involving only local roads, and
o
3
metres when involving a public lane
·
Amendment to Section 59: Frontage on a Public Street,
when access to a lot is provided by a public rear lane a minimum of 8.5 metres
wide, and that lot also abuts a public park, the public park frontage shall be
considered to be a “frontage on a public street” for interpretation of the
provisions of this zoning by-law,
·
Amendment
to Section 64: Permitted Projections above the Height Limit, the following
amendments are proposed:
o
a
sill, belt course, cornices, eaves, gutters, chimneys, chimney box, and
fireplace box, overhangs or pilasters may project 1.0 metres into the required
front and corner side yard and 1.0 metres, but no closer than 0.2 metres, into
the interior side yard
o
balconies
may project 2.0 metres, but no closer than 1.0 metres from the property line
and no closer than 0 metres from a property line abutting a sight triangle,
into the front and corner side yard
o
open,
roofed or unroofed porches and entrance features not exceeding one storey in height
may project 2.0 metres, but no closer than 1.0 metres from the property line
and no closer than 0 metres from a property line abutting a sight triangle,
into the front and corner side yard, and 1.0 metres into a rear yard
o
a deck
may project 2.0 metres, but no closer than 1.0 metres from the property line,
into a front and corner side yard; in a rear and interior side yard a deck may
project to within 0.3 metres of a lot line and an additional 0.3 metres setback
from every 0.3 metres or portion thereof that is constructed above finished
grade
o
steps
attached to a porch may project 2.5 metres, but no closer than 0.5 metres from
property line and no closer than 0 metres from a property line abutting a sight
triangle, into a front and corner side yard
o
air conditioning
units may project 1.0 metres, but no closer than 0.2 metres to the interior
property line, into a corner, and interior side yard and 2.0 metres into a rear
yard.
·
Amendment
to Section 101(i) Minimum Parking Space Rates, in the case of a home based
business operating within a multiple attached or semi-detached dwelling, the
required parking space is only required if the business involves an outside
employee,
·
Amendment
to Section 109 (7) Location of Parking, no more than 60 per cent of the
area of any front yard or corner side yard may be used as a driveway or parking
space.
·
Amendment to Section 136: Maximum Number of Attached
Dwellings Units in a Multiple Attached Dwelling, blocks of multiple attached
dwellings that are attached along the rear and side walls shall be limited to
16 attached dwelling units within each block instead of the current limit of
eight dwellings.
Natural Environment
The site contains two municipal drains, the
Todd Municipal Drain and East Clark Municipal Drain that currently traverses
the site and outlets into the Jock River. The proposed stormwater
management system for Barrhaven South will enclose the East Clarke drain and
partially enclose the Todd drain. A new pond immediately north of the existing Cambrian Road will
accommodate stormwater run-off from this site, and the remaining open
areas of the Todd drain, which includes a 40-metre corridor that will include a recreational pathway with links
to other parts of the community, will be realigned and rehabilitated, improving
habitat for fisheries. These
areas have been zoned as Conservation lands. The Department of Fisheries and
Oceans and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority have reviewed these channel
modifications and have addressed the fish habitat compensation requirements
through the draft approval of the subdivision.
Concurrent
Application
A concurrent application for subdivision approval has been draft approved and is in
the process of being cleared for registration.
Conclusion
In summary, the Department supports the Zoning
By-law amendment application because it responds to policies in the Official
Plan that speak to the creation of unique, compact and innovative developments
that in the long term result in more efficient use of the City infrastructure
and resources. Further, the proposed zoning conforms with the Barrhaven South
Community Design Plan in terms of development pattern, housing mix and density.
The subdivision layout has been also influenced by the recommendations of the Barrhaven
South Master Servicing Study and Jock River Reach 1 Subwatershed Study and this
Zoning By-law amendment will facilitate those objectives.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
The proposed zoning of the Conservation areas will assist in improving the fish habitat in the drain and ultimately improve conditions in the Jock River. Riparian planting that will be required through the subdivision approval in the Conservation lands and will also improve the existing channel conditions. The West Clarke and Todd Drains will be partially enclosed, relocated and rehabilitated to provide a net overall improvement to fish habitat.
CONSULTATION
Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy. The Ward Councillor is aware of this application and the staff recommendation. The City did not receive any negative comments or opposition to this application. A public meeting as required for the subdivision application was held on April 4, 2007 and many of the questions surrounded the layout of the plan and timing of infrastructure works.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The proposed development does not require an
expenditure of municipal funds over and above those funds recovered by development
charges or for which an allocation has been made in a Council approved budget
APPLICATION PROCESS
TIMELINE STATUS
The
application was not processed by the "On Time Decision Date"
established for the processing of Zoning By-law amendments due to the
complexity of the issues associated with the servicing of the associated
subdivision.
